Tired of Losing Weight Just to Gain It Back? Here’s What Changed Everything for Me

Have you ever felt like you’re stuck in an endless cycle—losing weight, only to gain it back again? Like no matter how hard you try, your energy is drained, your health is slipping, and you’re always chasing a version of yourself you can never quite catch?

I’ve been there. For years, I was trapped in that exact cycle. Food was my best friend growing up—it was my comfort and my joy. But as time went on, it also became my biggest struggle. I’d lose weight, only to gain it back, always wondering why I couldn’t stick with it. I blamed myself, felt ashamed, and thought something was wrong with me.

But let me tell you something: it’s not your fault. And it’s not about willpower.

The truth is, there’s something bigger at play—something called metabolic syndrome. It’s a condition that impacts millions of people, and most don’t even know they have it. But understanding it and taking action changed my life, and it can change yours too.

What Is Metabolic Syndrome?

Metabolic syndrome isn’t one single issue; it’s a collection of risk factors that increase your chances of developing serious health problems like diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. The key risk factors include:

• High blood sugar: Your body isn’t processing sugar well, which can leave you feeling tired and craving more.

• High blood pressure: A silent strain on your heart and blood vessels.

• Low HDL cholesterol: The “good” cholesterol your body needs to clear out the bad stuff.

• High triglycerides: A type of fat in the blood that builds up in your arteries.

• Large waist circumference: For women, that’s a waist over 35 inches; for men, over 40 inches.

If you have three or more of these, you could have metabolic syndrome—and if left unchecked, it can lead to serious health issues.

Why It Matters

I didn’t realize it at the time, but metabolic syndrome was a huge part of my struggle. My body was constantly working against me, no matter how hard I tried. I felt tired, bloated, and frustrated. And it wasn’t just about the weight—it was about how I felt inside.

People with metabolic syndrome are three times more likely to have a heart attack or stroke and twice as likely to die from them. Add to that the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, which brings complications like nerve damage, kidney issues, and vision loss.

Scary, right? But here’s the good news: you don’t have to stay stuck.

How I Broke Free

For years, I tried every diet, every exercise plan, every quick fix—and nothing stuck. The turning point for me was realizing that lasting change doesn’t come from deprivation or punishment. It comes from shifting your habits and focusing on healing your body and mind.

I started combining functional nutrition (learning to fuel my body in a way that actually supported my health), transformational coaching (working on the thoughts and beliefs that kept me stuck), and hypnotherapy (reprogramming my subconscious habits).

Slowly, those small changes added up.

Instead of obsessing over my weight, I focused on:

• Eating real, nourishing foods that helped my body thrive.

• Moving my body in ways that felt good, not like punishment.

• Rewiring my mind to break free from emotional eating and self-sabotage.

And guess what? I didn’t just lose weight—I gained energy, confidence, and freedom.

How You Can Take Back Control

You don’t have to feel stuck in the endless cycle of losing and gaining weight. You don’t have to keep fighting against your body. You just need a different approach—one that focuses on building health, not just chasing a number on the scale.

Here’s how to get started:

1. Small Steps, Big Changes

Start small. Take a 10-minute walk each day. Swap out sugary drinks for water. Choose one thing and focus on it until it feels natural.

2. Nourish, Don’t Deprive

Instead of cutting out foods, focus on adding in whole, nutrient-dense options. Think lean proteins, healthy fats, and veggies that fill you up and fuel your body.

3. Work on Your Mindset

Your thoughts shape your actions. If you’re stuck in a cycle of guilt and shame, it’s time to let go. Practices like mindfulness, journaling, and hypnotherapy can help you shift your mindset and create lasting change.

4. Get Support

You don’t have to do this alone. Whether it’s a coach, a friend, or a community, having support can make all the difference.

You Don’t Have to Do This Alone

I know how hard this journey can be because I’ve been there. But I also know how freeing it is to finally break the cycle and reclaim your health.

You deserve to feel good in your body.

You deserve energy, vitality, and confidence—not just for a few weeks, but for a lifetime.

That’s why we created “Thriving Beyond the Scale,” launching January 2025. It’s a year-long program designed to help you break free from metabolic syndrome, build sustainable habits, and transform your health—physically, emotionally, and mentally.

If you’re tired of starting over, tired of feeling like you’re failing, and ready to make real, lasting change, my team and I are here to help.
